Chapter 70: Entering Ba Shui (1)

Meng Heng spread his fleet on the Han River, and all the warships fired at the Mongol boat in unison. Not only artillery and firecrackers, but also ignition rockets and crossbow iron guns, the firepower of the Song army's naval division was originally superior to that of the Mongol army, so that Shi Tianze repeatedly emphasized when commanding the ships that he must start a white-edged battle with the Song people, because the southerners were cowardly, and white-knuckle battles were often defeated. However, the Song army was sharp in battle, and the Mongol army was often defeated despite its magical archery. But today, the boats and rafts that were blocking the Song army's sailors upstream were all scattered by heavy fire, and the boats that were rushing to cross the Mongol army were crowded with soldiers and horses, and in order to cross as many soldiers as possible, many of the horses did not even have time to transport, and the fully loaded fishing boats and rafts were heavy and difficult to travel, and they could never compete with the nimble Southern Korean naval army.

As the fishing boats and rafts burst into flames, they drifted downstream like drifting weeds in the river. The river was littered with the bodies of drowned Mongol soldiers, and the southern bank of the Han River was crowded with desperate Mongol soldiers who had no boat to cross, but Zheng Yunming's offensive from Xiangyang was not reduced by half.

"Set up all your firearms and give me a hard bang!" Yang Luo waved the waist knife in his hand, and commanded the musketeers and gunners of the Tulong Army to set up General Zhu and the musketeers on the periphery of the Mongol camp. Ge Huai and Wang Dengdu each led an army into the camp, and between the tents and fences, the foot soldiers of the Song army and the Mongol cavalry tore and beat each other, and made a mess. This was the best situation for Zheng Yunming, the Mongol army had completely lost the ability to counterattack with cavalry, and the Song army was not short of numbers. Behind him, the Song army was constantly driving out of Xiangyang City, and under the cover of the Jingchu army, it spread out to the west, and the Mongolian army's baggage, tents, artillery barriers, and fences were destroying everything they could.

Zheng Yunming's subordinates, except for the hundred and ten guards who guarded the main general, all the troops had been sent to the front line, even the clerks and firehead soldiers, porters and spare goods dealers with the army all picked up the guys who could be used at hand and rushed to the front line, the defeat of the Mongolian army was decided, a Mongol's level was ten yuan, and a captured Mongolian was fifteen yuan, and no one would have an opinion on money. To be honest, if it weren't for 6 Xunzhi blocking him on the side, even Zheng Yunming himself couldn't help but rush up and grab a few Mongolian soldiers to receive the reward. Anyway, the people and horses are mixed, and the real Tartars don't have a chance to use the most terrifying archery skills to resist. Zheng Yunming also noticed that the reason why he won such a light victory was due to the sudden withdrawal of a large group of Mongol cavalry from the front line, fleeing to the side of Tanxi to grab boats and escape.

It was precisely because of the sudden withdrawal of these cavalry, which were the backbone of the resistance, that they caused great shaking to the Mongol army, and the resistance of the Mongols collapsed almost instantly.

Although it is ironic to say this, in Zheng Yunming's eyes, the Mongol army and the Song army seem to have reversed their positions, and such a one-sided battle seems to be more like a repetition of Sanfeng Mountain or Yehuling, except that the attacking side has no horses, and the fleeing side has nowhere to escape.

And this qiē reversal began with the majestic performance of the Jiangnan Sailor.

He pointed to the thick smoke billowing on the river and said to 6 Xunzhi: "Today's battle will definitely make the Dongting gunboat famous in history!" ”

Of course, this is an undoubted fact, and from then on, both north and south of the river knew that the Song Dynasty was not without strong troops, and the Dongting gunboats were a formidable enemy for the Mongols. The strategy of carrying out a stormy cavalry sweep to deal with the Southern Dynasty like sweeping the Jin Kingdom and the Western Regions began to officially fail from this moment.

There was no suspense in the battle south of the Han River, and most of the enemy troops in Tanxi fled across the river by boat. There are only two places where fierce fighting is still taking place. In a forest by the river, hundreds of soldiers dismounted and formed a circle formation, forming a shield wall with shields and iron spears behind. Zhang Rou led more than 100 archers to shoot with all their might, blocking the approach of the Song army like a tide.

Although Zhang Rou's assault penetrated Jiao Jin's two teams of horizontal defense lines, they were stopped by Meng Jing's troops who took the opportunity to wait in formation, and what was even more odious was that Jiao Jin's troops not only did not disperse, but took advantage of the moment when Zhang Rou's hundreds of cavalry were stopped by Meng Jing, each of them divided into small teams to cover each other and rushed forward, and started a close battle with Zhang Rou's subordinates.

In terms of fighting alone, Zhang Rou can completely trust his subordinates and not lose to any army, even the most elite cowardly Xue guards, not to mention that these five hundred people are his personal henchmen, the elite of the elite. But in terms of numbers, they were no match for the Song people at all, Meng Jing almost gave up the attack on the enemy in front of him, and swept the troops over, surrounding Zhang Rou's hundreds of people in the middle, and there was a steady stream of fresh troops and horses on the periphery of the encirclement.

But Zhang Degang is not an ordinary person after all, he only used an iron cone gun, under the cover of Gong Yanhui with an iron shield of 100 households, he scattered an iron cone gun, dancing like a torrential rain, it was really an instant death, with a superb martial arts, he killed a bloody road, and hurriedly retreated to the river with the remnants of the defeated soldiers. But everything that could be used to cross the river has long been looted. There were also many Mongol rebels scurrying around like headless flies along the river.

Zhang Rou anxiously drove these stragglers away, allowing his subordinates to form a circle by the river, while he opened an iron-tired bow and blocked the pursuit of the Song army with continuous and precise arrows.

After the Song army was frustrated, they immediately changed their tactics, lined up a shield wall with a row of large shields, spread out a tortoiseshell formation, and approached Zhang Rou step by step. At this time, the bow shooting of the Mongolian army completely lost its effectiveness, Zhang Rou shot a few arrows towards the tortoiseshell array, and now he couldn't penetrate the iron shield at all, he sighed and shouted to Gong Yanhui: "Take my iron knife, today there are only Yizhou men who died in battle, and there are no rats who surrendered to Song Dog!" ”

Gong Yanhui was about to respond, when suddenly a group of rafts with Mongolian flags rushed out in the smoke on the river, and flew close to where Zhang Rou was.

"The king has finally forgotten you!" Gong Yanhui grabbed Zhang Rou's right arm and shouted: "Please retreat from all households, and Yanhui is willing to pursue it!" ”

Zhang Rou snorted and shouted: "Today's hatred, one day Zheng Yunming will be asked to repay tenfold, you stay and kill a few Song dogs, and then give me a safe return!" ”

Gong Yanhui promised loudly, straightened his head, bowed to Zhang Roushen, and shouted: "Come with me!" With more than 30 headquarters armor soldiers, he rushed straight towards the tortoiseshell formation.

The tortoiseshell formation is rigorous, but it seems clumsy to deal with the assault of a small group of elite armor soldiers, Gong Yanhui rushed like this, the flanks of the tortoiseshell formation suddenly became chaotic, and the soldiers disbanded the formation and began to fight separately, taking advantage of their desperate fight, Zhang Rou had the opportunity to take the rest of the soldiers to start boarding the ship and retreating.

It wasn't until the last soldier boarded the raft that Zhang Roufei jumped, jumped on the raft, and turned his head, Gong Yanhui and his small team of men and horses had been submerged in the sea of people of the Song army.

Zhang Rou was furious, stretched out her hand and snatched a horned bow from the soldiers beside her, and was about to jump back to the shore to join the battle again. Of course, the guards around him hugged him with all hands and feet, if this brave general really killed back, he might not be able to retreat in the face of the Song army's arrows.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang not far from the raft, and a huge column of water shook the raft violently, and several soldiers stood unsteadily and fell into the river.

A group of vehicles and boats in the distance had already appeared on the banks of the river, and they were about to come with a stone bullet, which was just throwing stones to ask for directions, and if they did not cross the river to the north immediately, the dense firepower was afraid that it would soon fall on their heads.

Zhang Rou waved her fist fiercely and shouted: "Go!" ”

On the bank of the river, the Song army of the brigade had surrounded Gong Yanhui's small troops dozens of times, and Gong Yanhui stood in a circle of more than 30 people back to back, supporting each other and confronting thousands of enemy troops. Jiao Jin danced the iron cone gun and rushed forward several times, but was forced back by the enemy with a sharp blade.

Between the stalemate of advancing and retreating, an impatient voice sounded behind Jiao Jin: "I can't take down such a small group of people after fighting for so long, hurry up and dodge!" ”

Jiao Jin snorted unconvinced and jumped to the side. Behind him, Liu Quan, who was full of iron, resisted a heavy formation-breaking knife and rushed up. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pushed a young soldier behind him fiercely: "You go first!" ”

Han Feng was not an iron whip in his hand, but a short spear for melee combat, and at this time, he was suddenly pushed to the front by Liu Quan. Seeing the officer leading the other side slashing at him viciously, he didn't have time to think about it. A shot stabbed the officer in the face. His character is stronger in attack than in defense, rather than passively parrying, it is better to move the enemy first, the length of the original spear has an advantage, and when the opposite blade is not close, the tip of the spear must reach the opposite door.

Gong Yanhui was also taken aback, he didn't expect that there was such a desperate teenager in the Southern Chaozhong, he subconsciously flashed to the side, and suddenly saw a black shadow passing in front of him, a cold light flashed, and he didn't know when Liu Quan, who had already grabbed the position on the side, slashed into his chest.

"Look, what's so hard about this?" Liu Cheng pulled out the knife and said lightly to Jiao Jin: "It's just a reckless man." ”

He pointed the bloody Formation Breaking Knife forward and shouted, "Follow me!" Pack up all these Tartars from the north! ”

The battlefield in Jiangbei was not peaceful, except for Meng Hui's troops who came by boat from the downstream and boarded 6 near Fancheng to attack the Mongol army, the Song army in Fancheng also came out and cooperated with Meng Heng's troops to attack the rear of the Mongolian army in Jiangbei. But the battle was far inferior to that of the South Shore Shun lì.
